Abstract

By introducing an unconventional realization of the Poincare algebra alt1 of special relativity as conformal transformations, we show how it may occur as a dynamical symmetry algebra for ageing systems in non-equilibrium statistical physics and give some applications, such as the computation of two-time correlators. We also discuss infinite-dimensional extensions of alt1 in this setting. Finally, we construct canonical Appell systems, coherent states and Leibniz functions for alt1 as a tool for bosonic quantization.
